High-octane Western Kentucky beats Middle Tennessee 58-28

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- Western Kentucky needed just two convincing quarters of football to put away Conference USA rival Middle Tennessee on Saturday and put a smile on Coach Jeff Brohm's face. The Hilltoppers scored on eight of their first 10 possessions, dominating the first half with 52 points en route to a 58-28 victory over Middle Tennessee to remain unbeaten in conference play. "That one feels good," Brohm said. "I'm not going to lie. That's a very rewarding victory. We felt Middle Tennessee was a very good football team, and we still think they are. For our guys to come out in the first half and play like that, I couldn't be any happier." Quarterback Brandon Doughty led Western Kentucky, (5-1, 3-0) by throwing all five of his touchdown passes in the first half. The Hilltoppers put up 484 yards of total offense in the first half, including 402 yards passing.
